As I understood the original posting, the tone was rather suggesting how the
production cycle could be amended and some points of criticism web
developers have towards PHP and what could be done about that. I also found
that the original posting was well intended. If I had the
impression that the original posting had the tone and content you described
above, I agree with you. Maybe just my perception was different.
